Postpartum Doula Services

Everyone says having a baby is a life-changing event and it is. But nobody says you have to do it alone. Postpartum services vary greatly from client to client but here are highlights of what I can do to help you feel more at peace:

  • Consultation by phone or in person to see if we are a good fit

  • Listening, reassurance, answering questions, emotional support for your family, or just sitting and chatting

  • Nurturing you as you learn to care for your new baby and your family adjusts

  • Evidence based education and assistance with newborn care

  • Establishing and supporting feeding, ensuring rest/shower

    • Bring baby to you in bed to nurse and then care for baby while you continue sleeping

    • Bottle feed while you pump and sleep

    • Formula feed while you sleep or a combination of any feeding method

    • Help with older siblings while you rest/shower

  • Light housework-laundry, dishes

  • Babywearing

  • Recognizing symptoms and screening for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

  • Professional referrals and resources

  • Please note that I only offer postpartum services to my birth clients as a continuum of care.
